After an offensively anemic performance for the most part by León last night, they still had the opportunity to score twice and claim all three points from Cruz Azul, despite going down 0-1 with ten minutes plus stoppage time to go in the match. Both teams were without one of their key offensive pieces due to leg injuries (Luis Montes for León, Jonathan Rodríguez for Cruz Azul), yet it seemed to take a much bigger toll on the home side.
Ambriz’s squad had a promising start to the match, when in the 8th minute, David Ramírez sent a perfect through ball into the box that left Fernando Navarro wide open on the left side with a 1-on-1 with Corona.
